PPV

PPV: Independent personal pronouns precede the verb in nominative constructions.

(1)memun-akino-ö.
IgoPRScinemaILL
’I’m going to the cinema.’ (Ponomareva 2010: 191)

(2)no,– dumajt-ö, –velöt-ameböbötćuka-ös!
wellthinkPRS.3SGteachPRSIlying_manACC
’Well – (s)he thinks –, it is me who is going to teach the liar lesson! (Ponomareva 2010: 180)

In Komi-Permyak personal pronominal subjects most commonly precede the verbal predicate (1), but in non-neutral sentences they can also follow it (2) (cf. Lobanova 2017).
